In a conversation with Alternative Press Editor in Chief Anna Zanes, Benji and Joel Madden reflect on the different eras of Good Charlotte \u2014 and what has allowed them to create enduring businesses, as well as maintain longevity as musicians. \n\u201cI think that the idea that always comes to my mind about everything that we do or have done \u2014 the theme of what injured us, what we thought was our weakness, what our trauma was \u2014 always ends up being our strength,\u201d Joel says of the band.\nCheck out the Fall 2023 issue of Alternative Press for this episode's companion cover story.
